Your main language
Every call starts in your main language. You choose it at signup, and can change it on the Receptionist page under Language & AI disclosure.
Answering in the caller's language
On the Voice card, Answer callers in their language is on by default. When a caller speaks another language your voice supports, your receptionist switches to it. Very short replies, like "yes", have to repeat before it switches.
Turn it off to always answer in your main language. A caller who speaks another language is then offered a callback.
If a caller speaks a language it doesn't support, it tells them which languages it can help in.
